1. Did Haircut 100's "Love Plus One" make it to the charts?

One of my favorite 80's tunes...

:-)

Thanks
Terry

2. Yes, it did.

"Love Plus One" peaked at #37 during the summer of 1982. It also was Haircut One Hundred's only top forty hit, which is why you didn't see them on the list.

3. I don't see how Sammy Hagar ever had a top 40 hit

His stuff was just so cheesy.

[NightTrain]

4. I think you've hit the nail on the head.

Sammy Hagar had Top 40 hits BECAUSE his stuff was so cheesy!

5. Kick

For the evening crowd

6. Why thank you, Droopy!
